American Lotus (Nelumbo lutea) is commonly known as duck acorn or water nut. American Lotus is a perennial weed that have floating circular leaves 13 feet wide, with stems attached to the center of the leaf underside. Young weeds float flat on the water surface, mature emersed leaves rise above the water surface. American Lotus is similar in appearance to Water Lilies, but without a slit in the leaf. It has a solitary large pale yellow 20 petal flower with a coneshaped seed pod in the flower center similar in appearance to a shower head.

American Lotus will reproduce from seed and rhizomes. These seeds and rhizomes are eaten by most wildlife.

Control methods: 1) Aquacide Pellets are a systemic option that is best applied early spring as new growth begins to appear. Wellestablished perennials will require a heavier dose of 10 lb.s per 2,500 sq. ft. Repeat treatment 35 weeks after the first application may be needed to kill the entire root system. 2) Aqua Neat Liquid and ShoreKlear Liquid are a second systemic option best applied midseason when all the weeds are above the water surface and in full bloom. Again, repeat treatment 35 weeks after the first application may be needed to kill the entire root system. Please feel free to email me or post questions you may have and I will respond accordingly.
